my doctor has just informed me that i have a severe allergy to yeast (both bakers and brewers.) I have read that yeast is in wines. Is this a fact? If so, are there any types that it is not present in?
Any answers would be deeply appreciated. (I am leaving for Italy soon!)

What KIND of doctor? Makes a BIG difference. Naturopaths tell everyone they are allergic to yeast. A true yeast allergy is essentially unheard of because the body is loaded with yeast naturally. I would strongly question your diagnosis. See an M.D. or D.O. Allergist for testing. Wine has no live yeast left in it anyway, and filtered wines would have no yeast products left to speak of.

AFA Foodie, the medical profession is still trying to figure out exactly WHAT he is.

This was the result of blood tests, through a M.D. (I guess the truth hurts in this case.) Regardless, I will continue my search for the "yeast free after work drink".
(six nights working in the bar / rest makes this unbearable.)

Best of luck resolving your break up issues.
I see alot of left over animosity here. Maybe you should meet for a drink and discuss this.
